TrustFire TR-J12 5*CREE XML T6 from DX MF and KD

Did you order them two weeks ago after you received the other two or did you order them on 2/14? Your described chronology is not consistent.

Either way, I hope you get the product. What are you going to do with 20?

The first order was delivered to me about 2 weeks after placing the order from aliexpress. The second order was placed on february 14th 2012. I hope I get them as well or at least a refund. What am I going to do with them? I have a doctor buddy that wants 10 of them and some other friends that want some. The rest I will either sell or hold on to. Maybe give them as gifts.

Is the DRY one of the best? i hear so much about it. Is the DRY a light to have in arsenal?

The opeaning post should be updated as the manafont TR-J12 has droped price a fair while ago now.

MF $75.75

TrustFire TR-J12 Cree XM-L T6 5-LED 4500-Lumen 5-Mode Memory Flashlight - Black Aluminum Alloy Finish (3*26650/3*18650)

Its worth paying the extra $5.15over DX and getting your order much quicker.

Hi,

Has anyone tried this with AA rechargeable (Does it fit without mods)? Does it work?

Hi,

Umm might common sense but I don't know. Lol.

So I took the torch to the beach and the glass caught some sand around the thread. To clean it you would have to open it up and upon opening it the glass and an o-ring fell out!

So my question is, does the o-ring belong in front of the glass or between the glass and the led?

I've tried both and when shaking it, I hear sounds like its unstable/glass moving. Is this normal? I'm not sure if it was like that before. Mind you I didn't tied it hard in the fear of damaging the thread or o-ring.

In front of the glass

Thanks pok. There's still a bit of chattering coming from the glass when shaken but I can live with that as long as it still works.

Starting to become a flash addict. Looking forward in purchasing an UCL lens for this or any other accessories when available!

Yes, either the DRY or SR King. Both are pretty compact, and bright as hell.

TR-J12 at the beach… sounds like you are already a flash addict :slight_smile:

Lol. I just got the torch and was very careful with it. I covered it with bubble wrap to stop it from collecting sand but encounted strong winds so it didn't help.

My to do list now is to:

1. Upgrade the TR-J12 if possible

2. Fix my old 3D maglite (or mod it somehow)

3. Purchase a thrower! (<$90) - Any recommendations? lol

4. And a mini pocket sized one

SkyRay STL-V2 or DeereeLight DBS V3 aspheric.



I too have this question - it's what finally sold me on the 3T6, and it would probably be a dealbreaker for J12 (for me)....

OR RATHER, how low a voltage will the driver take and still turn on the light at a reasonable output?? Will the light fire on a single 18650/26650? (I read through a few pages in this thread but havn't see the "single cell" test mentioned anywhere - SURELY someone has done it....)

SkyRayCrap wouldn't fire at low voltages (protection/out of driver range, I don't remember).

Manafonts price has dropped to $72.99 a few months ago maybe the opening post should update the price's from all the sellers listed ?

Well I got my J12. But when I tried to screw extension tube on to the main tube the O-ring didn't fit properly and I kind of mangled it. It was really tight, even well lubed. Anyone else have this problem? And does anyone know where I can buy a properly sized replacement o-ring from?

Thanks for any help!

Bearing shops here in Australia are a good source of cheap o'rings.

Thats where i get mine from

I am still very curious if the J12 will start/run on one 4.2v cell like its younger sibling the 3T6 ?
(yes, I realize due to amp draws thats not exactly wise.. but still good enough for low/medium in a pinch)

I'm trying to decide between the two lights (only have the budget to get one right now), and being able to run on a AA's in a pinch is a pretty nice feature of the 3T6.... but the J12 is brighter!
